In the Spotlight

Welcome to Steilacoom, the oldest incorporated Washington city or town established in 1854! Our community contains a large historic district with homes dating from the mid-1850’s. Our Steilacoom Historical Museum chronicles our important contribution in Washington history with artifacts and pictures. We have dramatic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Our residents and visitors enjoy many annual community events as well as our family friendly beaches on the Sound.

Our website provides Steilacoom residents, business owners and visitors with a wide range of information about Town government, services, events, parks, our staff, activities, and much more.

Steilacoom prides itself in being a very safe, friendly, small town with residents who know their neighbors and benefit from one of the best school districts in the state.

Come experience Steilacoom…..the Town of Firsts!
